Riscure features in CardsNowAsia
The first article
covers Riscure's press release on a SIM attack scenario of Nov 2004:
SIM Attack Scenario.
The second article is
titled Is Java Card Really That Secure? Marc Witteman, Technical
Director at Riscure, discusses how penetration testing on Java cards
performed by independent labs has advanced from the testing that is
performed on proprietary cards.
According to him,
"the level of penetration testing performed on a proprietary card is
child's play compared to what is done on Java cards".
Further on in the
article, he states that Java cards can be very secure as long as the
specifications are implemented correctly. With the increased quality
of penetration testing, a well-tested Java card contains far less
undetected security vulnerabilities than a proprietary card. This
leads to high quality cards offering excellent security and applet
interoperability.
